Around Africa - Aqaba, Jordan Day 1

From the sunny Salalah, we headed to another city in the Middle East, Jordan!



We will be staying here overnight. And what am I most excited about? Visiting a wonder of the world, THE LOST CITY OF PETRA! That would be for tomorrow.

But for now, I'm gonna tour you around the city of Aqaba with the little time I had. This is not a boring place, ya know. This was the only place in all our travels where I saw most of the officers getting off at night but I didn't know why as I was on duty. Haha



There was a free shuttle service from the ship to the city center.

I was accompanied by one of the security officers who planned to go gold shopping! Hence, my pic here. Hehe



Maybe because it was a weekend, I didn't really know but most of the jewelry shops there were closed though some shops selling other goods were opened.



They said it opened during the night. My gosh, I just couldn't imagine going there and seeing yellow glitters all around! Haha

There was a mosque opposite the market.



Anyway, continuing our journey, I bought biscuits because I was just craving for salty biscuits. It has been several weeks already since I've last eaten skyflakes. Haha




Pistachio nuts are everywhere and coffee as well! I just regret why I didn't try it. :(

There were various colorful shops and markets which really made the ambiance sooo alive!



That's it for now! Will continue our journey tomorrow! :)
